Step 5

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Pour the dressing over the vegetables and use salad tongs to toss everything together until well-coated.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice as desired.

Step 8

Let the coleslaw marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
